Description:
|
To help prepare for the real-life challenges of space exploration, NASA relies on Earth-based missions that emphasize multiple elements as similar, or analogous, to space. These are called analog missions. This report profiles six analog missions, with highlights and successes from the last few years, and an overview of the public outreach and education activities by the analog missions.
